I would definitely go and see your doctor if this has gone on for this long and is bothersome. You may need a mild muscle relaxer for your problem, or it could be something else.
Try taking a nice warm bath, then lightly massage the area. See if that helps. If that is only temporary then I would highly suggest you take this to your doctor and get the full work up/his opinion on it. That is always your safest bet.
If you seriously think that it's caused by stress then try a means to outlet your stress, exercise, writing, meditation, reading...anything that will calm you down in bad situations.

It sounds like a spinal alignment issue. I'd go see a Chiro and have them take a look. Lots of pains are related to misalighned spines. This causes the muscles to tense up repeatedly.
If that fails try anti-inflammatory meds and see how you do.

Heat, ice, and apply a lot of pressure to that one part of your back, it cuts off the oxygen supply to that part of your muscle and it will relax it.

Heat! Unless it's a pulled muscle, then ice.
